This nonsense only makes sense if all religions are equated to those of the Taliban and to those who did the 9/11 attack, which these atheists do. Let the likes of Dawkins and Hitchens confront Jesus and say no directly to His face. Of course, that may be like asking Dracula to confront the crucifix.

â€œFor example, Hitchens, a columnist for Vanity Fair and author of the book God Is Not Great, told a capacity crowd at the University of Toronto, "I think religion should be treated with ridicule, hatred and contempt, and I claim that right." His words were greeted with hoots of approval. Religion is "sinister, dangerous and ridiculous," Hitchens tells NPR, because it can prompt people to fly airplanes into buildings, and it promotes ignorance. Hitchens sees no reason to sugarcoat his position.â€
